I've never been a big fan of the long hair sticking out of the helmet look. I don't think that safety is the concern here, the NFL has always been very strict about the uniforms and I think this is just another example of that. Actually I'm surprised it wasn't addressed a few years ago.

The NFL cannot enforce complete uniformity. To make every player wear the same exact gloves, shoes, socks, or undershits is impossible for various reasons. I think that the NFL's best shot of banning long hair will be in the intrest of safety and not uniformity.

I agree - remember when LJ pulled down Polomalu a couple of years ago? That could have been really bad.

For real, this shouldn't be a topic. Next thing, you won't be able to dye your hair etc. I think that's it's another case of "We're reporting, nothing to report". I would think that the Leauge FO would have better things to do with thier time.

Yea but isn't it a horse collar if you pull a player down by his hair? I think they should make them cut it, because if it is a horse collar it is beneficial to the player. In the case of the LJ TP case,^ LJ had TPs nasty hair stuck to his hand.

this is a very inaccurate statement. every player that chooses to wear gloves will wear only N.F.L. approved gloves. same with the socks and undershirts. its so bad that the height of a players socks often comes into question. every game has a so called fashion police working. they are employed by the N.F.L and warn players about possible fines if the unis aren't adjusted. there is a way for the league to get guys to cut their hair. its just like the Yankee's, no long hair, or facial hair. basically, every employer could demand this, if wanted.
